OpsCenter reports mapped to Report Library: The mapped reports in Reports Library provide the report name
Steps to import reports from the Report Library to NetBackup IT Analytics
OpsCenter Alerts mapped to NetBackup IT Analytics Alerts: This section provides one-to-one alert mapping.

OpsCenter-NetBackup IT Analytics reports mapping

NetBackup IT Analytics delivers unified backup and storage insights, enabling you to increase data reliability and reduce costs with consolidated reporting and automated alerts. The NetBackup IT Analytics Report Reference guide describes the available out-of-the-box reports. It also defines the process of creating the reports.

Using the search functionality in the NetBackup IT Analytics, you can find the required reports.

For example:

Access the NetBackup IT Analytics portal.
In the Search bar type "Job Status Summary" and press Enter. The portal displays the search results.
Click the required report hyperlink and then click Details. The portal displays the detailed description of the reports at the bottom of the page.

Given below is the table listing OpsCenter reports which are the same or equivalent to NetBackup IT Analytics out-of-the-box reports. However, there could be few NetBackup IT Analytics reports that require scope modifications of the reports. The scope can be modified in the Scope Selector dialog box to get the desired results.

OpsCenter-Reports Library mapping

The Customer Report Library is a collection of unique reports created by the Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics community and is made available to all customers and partners. The reports can be downloaded and used as-is or customized to suit your own unique environment.

The custom reports in this inventory were created using the NetBackup IT Analytics Report Template Designer (RTD) interface. These custom reports complement the over 300 reports that are included with the NetBackup IT Analytics platform. These reports meet very specific customer requirements for capacity, backup, SAN fabric, and chargeback reporting. Customers and Veritas Technical Sales Consultants can quickly and easily use these reports to analyze the vast repository of data that NetBackup IT Analytics maintains in customer data center environments.

Note: Some reports may not be suitable for large environments or MSP portals.

Follow the steps given in Importing SQL Report Template Designer (RTD) Reports section of this article to search, download, and import the reports from the report library.

Examples of reports downloaded from this site are to be used as examples only and are NOT supported by Veritas. If you require assistance with modifying any reports, please contact Veritas Professional Services.
